IRREVERSIBLE PAINTS

TMC Clearline Thermal Indicating paints provide a simple method
of measuring temperature with a single paint pack. Providing
a non reversible, accurate method of measuring temperature
throughout the range of 104°C/219°F to
1270°C/2318°F.

MAIN ADVANTAGES OF THESE IRREVERSIBLE PAINTS

No primer necessary for most surfaces

Fast reaction time

Superior performance in normal and hostile environments

Ideal for producing thermal surveys

A strong and clear colour contrast

Resistant to oil, steam and water

Requires no additives

43 standard change points available for
temperatures 104°C/219°F to 1270°C/2318°F

Specification: Ref. SC paint;
Accuracy: +/- 5%.

Range: 135°C/275°F to 630°C/1166°F

Note: Single change paints are also available at
48oC and 80oC. However, they are
Quasi-reversible. They revert back to their original colour
when water is applied.

SINGLE CHANGE PAINTS

Single Change Thermal Paints are now colour fast in direct
sunlight, resistant to chemical abuse and provide a clearline
colour change, proving to be an extremely useful aid to the
industrial, chemical and petrochemical markets.

An ideal tool for monitoring lined vessel plant, detecting rise
in surface temperature where the refractory linings have broken
down, acting as an invaluable tool for this type of industry.

Supplied in 250ml, 500ml, 1 litre & 2.5 litres.

MULTI CHANGE PAINTS

Multi Change Thermal Paints withstand hostile environments and
prove a valuable asset, particularly when used in conjunction with
gas turbines and jet engines. Being the only paint of its type
known to retain its surface adhesion at these temperatures thus
offering a high degree of protection from erosion. Used extensively
in rocketry and high speed flight technology, these paints prove to
be an invaluable tool in thermal measurement.

Supplied in 250ml, 500ml, 1 litre & 2.5 litres.

Specification: Ref MC paint;
Accuracy: +/- 5%

Range: 104°C/219°F to 1270°C/2318°F

Technical information

Some paints are available in a Polyurethane type finish.

All Thermal Paints are time/temperature dependent and in being
so, such paints have a trigger temperature below their specified
rating.

A 235°C/455°F Thermal Indicating paint after 1 hour
would require only a sustained temperature of 218°C/424°F
to change its colour, however, a temperature of 180°C/356°F
will not cause a colour change of the paint, therefore such a paint
could be recommended for work on projects which do not exceed the
normal running conditions of 180°C/356°F. Being a general
guide only, specific details should always be requested. To obtain
further advice we will need the following information:

(a) The type of surface to be painted, i.e. metal, stone,
etc.

(b) Required trigger temperature

(c) The surface temperature under normal conditions

(d) The ambient temperature

CAUTION: It is, when testing, advisable to apply two
coats of thermal paint. No undercoat is necessary when used for
test purposes. When calculating requirements allow 1 litre per 6
sq. metres.
